History Podcast / AndyDalyPodcastPilotProject

In 2014, Andy Daly and Matt Gourley ostensibly began sifting through podcasts submitted to Earwolf Productions and showcasing the standouts. The shocking truth was that the podcast was actually Andy Daly playing a variety of characters he'd invented for shows such as Comedy Bang! Bang! as aspiring podcast hosts, despite the fact in many cases it involves admitting to complete failures or heinous crimes. Cohosts and guests have included Paul F. Tompkins, Jason Mantzoukas, Scott Aukerman, and Betsy Sodaro. After eight episodes, in 2018 the show began its belated second season.

* ThoseWackyNazis: His Former Holiness Benedict XVI was a Fallschirmjäger (paratrooper) with the Luftwaffe during WWII who claims it was easy to conquer Amsterdam because they invaded at 4:20. He's so unrepentant about the Third Reich's actions during that time that he describes the memorial to Anne Frank as a fun place.
* YourCheatingHeart: Uta Lindt barely tried to conceal her affair from August beyond tricking him into a "seperate vacations" scheme.

Episode 5: Eye on Theater with Don DeMillo

Episode 3: The Pee Tape with Don DeMillo

Episode 4: Terrifying Edinburgh with Cameron MacGonagle

* AffablyEvil: Dalton Wilcox, who guns down anyone who he believes is a mean monster (i.e., seemingly anyone inconveniencing him.) He still tries to project an air of warmth and folksiness. Chip Gardner tries for it but often becomes abrasive to anyone not working in show business.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Discussing the death of Timothy Treadwell of GrizzlyMan, Werner Herzog says it was unknown which bear killed him. H. R. Giger indulges his misogny to claim it must have been a female bear. Both are wrong: It was discovered which male bear it was shortly after Treadwell's death and well before the film was released.

Episode 6: The Lost Tapes of L. Ron Hubbard

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: While discussing Film/GrizzlyMan, the topic of the infamous scene comes up where Werner Herzog listens to the audio of Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie's death while the audience can hear nothing. Former Pope Ratzinger doesn't understand that it would be too horrifying and exploitative for Herzog to have played the audio, so he guesses that it's because Treadwell said "the N word."

Episode 8: Kiss Me I'm Patrick McMahon

* CompleteMonster: Don DeMillo. Forces women into essentially live sex shows, murders them when they resist at all, physically attacks theatrical productions when they don't appeal to him. He even worked with the Taliban briefly. All while working for children's theater.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: The show has a very dark sense of humor, but often such an upbeat tone and such absurd jokes that it all breezes by anyway.

* YourCheatingHeart: Greta Lindt barely tried to conceal her affair from August beyond tricking him into a "seperate vacations" scheme.
